|| Discharge Witch Build || 50k+ AOE DPS 0.11.c

I'll be updating the guide soon with a new high level crit focussed variation which im testing out. Also new vid coming in soon from a quick dock run with Eonclaire, testing the potential of Conduit in a party of discharge warriors.

This is pretty pimp play style.

Was running around lunaris last night with a witch, they were using freezing pulse with power charge on critical, and blood rage, and using leap slam (and I guess a crit dagger) to move into groups. Looks like they had maxed power charges and possibly a few extra frenzy charges, and their discharge was demolishing everything. They werent using endurance charges at all though.

Literally one shotting whole screens, magic and rare mobs included, in a 6 person party. It was prett nuts, and with me laying down some control with -90 resist cold snaps and nuking with spark totems and EE buffed fireballs, while they went in, we clear things very very fast. It was an awsome spec to watch blow the crap out of everything.
Think it helped having me debuffing everything with EE, but it was impressive all the same.

This build looks pretty awesome, and I'm definitely going to try it out. Would you mind saying which bandit choices you took?

Also added.

Maybe a noob question, but I was wondering why at the beginning you go for the 3 cast speed nodes (total 9%) instead of the spell critical strike chance nodes (total 55%)?

(edit) Never mind I found your reasoning. :p

"

Because ice spear has a 49% chance to crit at range, points into crit chance are wasted.

Brought guide up to date, added solo variation

since the cast speed is 1sec, any inturupption happens?

Here is two pointers.

1.) For group play you don't need to spec into Conduit just use Lochtonial Caress

2.) Is For the Love of God if you using Warlords Mark/Blood Rage why gimp your ES with Voll's? Why not get a L-5 ES armor and link Power Charge On Critical? By the time you have your End/Frenzy charges you should have your Power's too. Mybe? I use a differnt build with Power Siphon so I mite gain power charges faster then a spell using Power Charge On Critical. If so I'm sorry for the ?.

3.) Nice spell build.

And if your wondering here is my current build.



Now I did not start out trying to build a Discharge build but with any CI/Power charge build I think it only comes naturaly to use Blood Rage/Warlords and then you end up with all this charges thinking at some point hummm that Discharge skill is looking mighty good now:) At least that's how it happend for me.

I was working on building a Harry Potter Flick and Swosh Wander. But 6 power and 3 End/Frezy later I'm going well if I put that in a L-3 Discharge/Concentrat/Inc Area is looking sweet. I only have about 150% Inc. spell dmg on my wand/shield and when I unload into a pack of whites I still normaly end up with 3 return frezy and 1-3 enduce charges. From blood rage/Warlords.

As far as crowed Control in my build is handled I use the L-4 spell totem/skelly/minion health/faster casting. Mainly to tank and add dps to boss fights and some harder to handle rares.

I also use a L-4 Cold Snap/Concentrat/Inc Area/Elemental Prolif. Just awsome awsome lock down power here. And with all the Power Chargers with the build it's always ready. Even when I Discharge I have it off cooldown you know just in casses I need one when I dont have any power charges.

I just wanted to show you that build becouse you put down Power Siphon. It will not get you max dmg on a Discharge build but it's not bad ether :) And the dmg is ok normaly but when it Crits and that with a 32% to crit it's freaking killer. So I think yours has got to crit for some ungodly dmg.

Hi Guys,

I have been running Low Life, RF, Pain Atunement build and been experimenting a lot with discharge and lighting warp lately.

With RF up, 7 power charges, 4 frenzy charge, 4 endurance charges the tool tip dps of Discharge is 132K DPS – yes iam not joking - 132,000 DPS (ill take a screenshot when iam back home tmr eve). Its linked with Increased area, concentrated effect, and elemental proliferation. I can sustain the frenzy charges with no problem (BloodRage) and the PowerCharges in 6L chest with FP as main power source. Enduring Cry for Endurance charges. In my party group one guy runs with Conduit so I generally fill up on charges within 5 sec.

The only issue with this is Elemental reflect which will one shoot you regardless of whether you crit or not. Maybe my math is off, but assume u hit a group of 10 mobs (easy when you are clearing half a screen) which has Elemental Reflect 20% so:
135.000 DPS burst
135.000 x 20% reflect = 27.000 DPS
85% Resist on all Elements = 27.000 x 15% = 4.050 DPS
10 Mobs = 10 x 4.050 = 40.500 DPS = INSTA DEATH.

Vaal Pact dosnt seem to work probably but with the new buff to life leech (7% I think) = 135.000 x 7% = 9.450 DPS pr enemy hit so it should be sustainable, but it will be hard for me to respect to Vaal Pact.

Any how just a my few cents worth for Discharge.

HAPPY BOOMING GUYS!


Current build


Current Gear:
Its mediocre, except for Shavronnes ofcourse.


I have been thinking about rerolling a templar with maxed out Area Effect and Burn duration/Damage and us lightning warp to jump around, but sure yet how to generate the power charges.
